"Drinking together......"

Tosaka Tokitomi, who was sitting alone in the underground workshop, sighed again at Rider's strange behavior.

"Is it really okay to leave Archer alone?"

The Demon Dao communication machine brought Yan Feng Qili's slightly stiff words, and Shi Chen smiled bitterly:

"No way".

"Since it was a meeting of the kings, how could he ignore the questions that were directed at him?"

As long as they haven't figured out the true strength of the hero king Gilgamesh, that's fine. Luckily, tonight they were fighting at the wine table. As long as he does not draw his sword and go to war, Archer will not easily reveal the "king's treasure"

Being able to grasp the situation in the distant Einzberen in his own workshop naturally owes the report of the Assassin who was hiding there, and then through the transfer of Qili, Shi Chen can understand it so clearly. After the rider destroyed the forest barrier, the Assassin also kept his breath blocked and successfully infiltrated the city.

The Holy Grail War has entered its fourth night, and Shi Chen has not yet set foot in the deep mountain town mansion. He had been staying in his mansion for several days to inquire about the Holy Grail War. And the situation of some of the masters who have been hidden for the time being, he has also investigated almost everything.

His focus now is on the Rider conquest of King Iskandar and his master Weber. Velvet.

These two men had not yet fought with the other servants. Little was known about them. What's more serious is that because of the Assassin's miss, the fact that Yan Feng Qili and the Assassin are still alive was exposed.

Therefore, Qili is especially careful not to approach the Rider easily. However, even if you use the breath cutting skill, its effect is still limited. Don't look at Rider with a big grin, he actually has a much sharper sense than the other servants. When eavesdropping on the conversation between the three of them this time, Qili also specifically instructed the Assassin not to be discovered by the rider.

"That's right, Qili. The difference between rider and archer's combat power is ...... What do you think? ”

"I think the point is whether the rider has a more powerful trump card than the 'Shenwei Wheel'."

"Hmmm......"

Herein lies the problem. Compared to the other four servants, only the Rider was the most disturbing.

The master who dominates the berserker has expended a great deal of power, and the caster is under threat from all sides, and even the workshop has been destroyed. These two groups of people are waiting for them to fend for themselves.

Gilgamesh will not lose to the injured Saber, and Lancer remains unscathed, but his original master is out of action due to a serious injury. Being commanded by a subordinate magician is no longer to be feared.

"Still, what do you think of that new master who summoned in violation of the rules?

"It's very strong, but the tyrant Nero doesn't seem to have any legends, and his strength is estimated to be stronger than the Knight King.

"Well, I really think so, too. But I'm still a little worried.

“…… Now, we need to try that. ”

"I see. I understand. ”

Needless to say, Qili on the other side of the telegraph had already understood Shi Chen's intentions.

In order to get your hands on valuable information, you can now send Assassins to test it.

Rider and his master are unprepared for a feast, and now is a good opportunity to raid. At this time, the important thing is not the victory, but the difference in combat strength between the enemy and the enemy. It would be best if the rider could be dealt with smoothly, and even if it couldn't, it would be enough if it could force him into a desperate situation and force him to use the strongest trick.

"If you want all the assassins to assemble, I'm afraid it will take about ten minutes."

"Very well, give the order. Although it was a big gamble, luckily we had nothing to lose even if we failed. ”

For Shi Chen, the Assassin is just one of the means used to capture the Holy Grail, a tool that can be thrown away when used. This understanding is also fully reflected in his disciple Yan Feng Qili.

After Shi Chen finished speaking, he changed his sitting posture and poured another cup of tea into the cup. He happily sniffed the scent of black tea and waited for the results of the actions he had ordered

After Saber resolutely finished speaking, everyone fell silent for a long time.

The first to wonder in silence was Saber himself.

Even if her words are full of momentum, the other party is not a person who will bow his head easily. Even if it was unexpected, it was a very easy thing to understand.

Clearly, there is nothing strange about it, this is her way of kingship. Whether it's praise or rebuttal, someone should bring it up right away. But—no one spoke.

"—I say, Knight King, I can't be misheard."

Rider finally broke the silence, and for some reason, his face was full of doubt.

"You mean 'change your fate'? That is, to turn history upside down? ”

"Yes. No matter how difficult it may be to fulfill a wish, it will be fulfilled as long as you have the Almighty Holy Grail—"

Saber asserted proudly. By now, Saber finally knew why the atmosphere between the two of them was so strange - the scene suddenly froze.

"Ah, Saber? I'd like to confirm...... That destruction of Britain must have been a matter of your time, a time of your reign? ”

"Yes! So I can't forgive myself. ”

Saber's tone became more determined when he heard this.

"So I'm very unwilling and want to change that ending! That's why I ended up like that......"

Unexpectedly, someone burst out laughing. It was a vulgar laughter that defied any understanding, and it came from the mouth of the archer, who radiated a golden glow.

In the face of this great humiliation, Saber's face was full of anger. Her most cherished thing was ridiculed by Archer.

“…… Archer, what's so funny. ”

Not minding Saber's anger, the Golden Hero replied intermittently with a smile:

"—Claiming to be a king—being praised by all the people—how can such a person be 'unwilling'? Ha! How can this not make people laugh? What a masterpiece! Saber, you're the best clown! ”

Beside Archer, who was laughing, Rider also frowned, and looked at Saber with some displeasure.

"Wait—you wait for the Knight King, do you want to deny the history you've created?"

Saber, who has never had any doubts about his ideals, will naturally not be asked by him at this moment.

"Exactly. Surprised? Isn't it ridiculous? The country for which I gave my life as a king was destroyed. I mourn, what's wrong? ”

She was answered by another burst of laughter from Archer.

"Hey, did you hear me, rider! This little girl who calls herself the Knight King...... What do you say'Dedication to the country'! ”

Archer replied to Rider's deepening silence. This is the same insult to Saber as being ridiculed.

"I don't know what's funny. As a king, you should naturally stand up and work for the prosperity of your country! ”

"You're wrong."

Rider firmly and solemnly dismissed her words.

"It is not the king who gives himself, but the state and the people who give everything they have to the king. Make no mistake about that. ”

"What did you say—"

Saber couldn't hold back her anger any longer, and she shouted.

"—Isn't that a tyrant! Rider, Archer, you guys are making a big mistake by being the king! ”

"Definitely. But we're not just tyrants, we're heroes. ”

Rider replied calmly, not even moving an eyebrow.

"So Saber, if the king is not satisfied with the results of his governance, it only means that he is a dumb king, worse than a tyrant."

Unlike Archer, who constantly mocks Saber, Rider fundamentally denies her. Saber furrowed his eyebrows and retorted in a sharp tone:

"Iskander, you...... Isn't there really any resentment that the empire you created was eventually split into four parts? Don't you want to do it all over again and save the country? ”

"I don't want to."

The King of Conquest replied immediately, his chest held high, and he looked directly into the stern gaze of the Knight King.

"If my decision, and that of my courtiers, leads to such an outcome, then destruction is inevitable. I will mourn and I will shed tears, but I will not regret it. ”

"How could it be ......?"

"Not to mention an attempt to turn history upside down! This stupidity is an insult to all the human beings of the era I have constructed! ”

In response to Rider's arrogant words, Saber denied:

"You say this only based on the glory of the warrior. The people don't think so, what they need is salvation. ”

"You mean they want the king's salvation?"

Rider shrugged his shoulders and laughed.

"I don't understand! Does this stuff make any sense? ”

"This is the duty of a king!"

This time it was Saber's turn to speak proudly:

"The right rule, the right order, that's what all subjects expect."

"Are you the 'right' slave then?"

"If you want to say that, you can do that. Only by dedicating oneself to one's ideals is worthy of being a king. ”

Without a hint of doubt, the young Knight King nodded.

"Through the king, people are able to understand law and order. The king should not embody something that will disappear with the death of the king, but something more honorable. ”

Looking at Saber, who was still resolute, the rider on the side shook his head as if he was pitying her.

"It's not a path of survival that people would choose."

"Yes. Since he was born as a king, he can't expect to be an ordinary person. ”

In order to become a perfect monarch, in order to become the embodiment of ideals, she is willing to give up her body and throw away her personal feelings. The life of a young girl named Artoria changed forever the moment she pulled the sword out of the rock. Since then, she has become synonymous with undefeated legends, hymns, and dreams.

There have been pains, there have been troubles, but there is the glory of victory. Her unchanging belief still supports her sword-holding arm. (To be continued.) )
